Aluminum Fofi
Never entirely cover
a shelf with aluminum
foil. This will disturb
the heat circulation and
result in poor baking. A
smaller sheet of foil
may be used to catch a
spillover by placing it
on a lower shelf several
inches below the food.

used is the one recommended.
Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on
the pan determines the amount of browning that
will occur.
QDark rough or dull ~ans absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper cru$t. Use this type for pies.
● Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in
a lighter, more de~cate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.
Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such
as “bake 3040 minutes.”
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum
time. Opening the oven door fiquently during
cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times
longer. Your baking results may also be affected.
● Glass baking dishes @o absorb heat. When baking
in glass baking dishqs, the temperature may need to
be l&dUCedby 25”F.
